Gastina
/What if Gaston saw how Nina ran away from their first date/
Nina's POV
"Gaston, Gaston is Roller Track..."
How did she not understand. But it can't be he is Gaston THE Gaston and she is just Nina. It isn't right she can't face him he couldn't possibly like her. She has to run to her mom he can't see her...
Gaston's POV
"It is strange that she hasn't come"
He stood there like a moron with Matteo by his side. Did she stood him up? Loosing all hope they started to go walk away when something suspicious caught his eye. A girl wearing blue shorts,blouse and if he wan't mistaken red glasses was running away with and older woman by her side. He was lost in his thoughts when a phone call interrupted the silence. Matteo's moon girl informed that they had to head to Roller. But he will find who was the girl that ran away from him.
Gaston was really frustrated during the meeting not to mention that Tamara canceled their participation in the competition. After that nightmare he sunk down in a chair and sighned. Was he that bad that she had to run away? Yeah he sometimes thought that he is not the best looking, but he had a good heart, he was sure about that. He didn't care how she looked he fell for her words. Never in his life he had felt this alive. He could spend all night imagining that her words were for him. He is whipped he admits it, but if only his confession would score him the girl of his dreams... Looking up he caught a glimpse of a girl. He couldn't quite recall her name Nina or something like that. He observed her features: brown long hair, small femenine hands, pink shirt that had a cut out that seeked some more attention, red glasses. Red glasses... Wait. Is it possible that it is her? It could be. He recalled all the times she said a great quote or wrote something in her tablet. He had to approach her! As he stood up Luna had already pulled her away with her.
Later that night he couldn't fall asleep. It was already thirteen minutes past one. It felt like he could get some sleep only after he texted her. He picked up his phone. He was sure that he had her number because she was in the Yam & Roller group. When he finally found her number his fingers did a little dance before he pressed on her contact. But what will he say to her? He was thinking with all his streght when he came up with the perfect thing to say.
-You like blue huh?-
Nina's POV
Nina was rolling in her bed as the day's events replayed in her mind. She felt bad but it felt right running away. It wasn't like they would run to each other, hug or kiss. Kiss... She would be lying if she said that she hadn't thought about kissing him. But of course she is Nina she has no hope to get that kind of luck. Finally setting aside her thoughts she drifted to sleep when her phone notification interrupted the silence. She searched for her glasses and picked up her phone. She wasn't sure if she was dreaming or if her vision had gone worse but there was a message from Gaston. With trembling fingers she opened it.
-You like blue huh?-
She started to panick. He saw her! He fucking saw her! He is probably laughing his ass off with Matteo. She felt so embarrassed but she had to keep it cool.
-Yeah. Why are you asking?-
Some minutes passed before she got a response.
-Well... It could be that a certain FelicityForNow was in the park today wearing blue but ran away...-
She was dead she was sure that she wasn't alive. He figured it out but she could still save it and deny everything.
-Umm... I have no idea. Good luck finding her.-
Great she saved the day.
-Stop it Nina, you don't have to lie. I saw your red glasses. Why did you ran away?-
Don't respon just don't.
-Nina answer me please. I can see that you read my previous message.-
She had to say it.
-I'm sorry Gaston, but I'm not the girl that you are looking for...
With that last message she turned off her phone.
Gaston's POV
His alarm rang too early, he got only a few hours of sleep. He sent her a buch of messages but none of them got a response. Getting out bed was a struggle but looking in the mirror was another story. Red, bloodshot eyes, messy hair. No, he could not face her looking like this. He made himself look a little more presentable and headed to school in hopes of seeing Nina.
Most of the lessons passed but he didn't saw Nina. He considered asking Luna, but then he thought that it would be useless since they are always together, but today Luna was all alone. After classes he went to Roller, but halfway there he saw someone sitting on a bench in the same park where he "had his date" with Nina. He approached the bench and saw the girl that has been on his mind the past months.
Narrator's POV
"Why didn't you respond to my messages?" He asked in a curious way.
Nina immediately turned aroun and stared at him with a frightened face expression.
"I uhh ummm... My battery died." She let out a faint whisper.
"I am not so sure about that. It was in the middle of the night and I assume that you where at home." He answered with a smirk.
"I'm uhh sorry. I have to go." She quickly stood up and was about to run away, but he quickly grabbed her wrist and spun her around.
"Do you really think that I'm gonna let you go after last nights conversation? We need to talk don't you think?" He didn't let go of her ar in fear of her running away.
"What do we need to talk about?"
"Stop denying it. I know that you are Felicity." He said with frustration in his voice.
"Uhh yeah andd what about it?"
"I hope you understand my intentions towards you."
"Uhh you want to be my friend right?" She asked with a small smile.
"I assume that friends don't go on dates and I didn't send you those messages just to be your friend. I wasn't lying about my feelings. I really do like you. But I want to know what do you feel for me?" He asked with a slight tint of hope in his words.
Nina's POV
Nina stood there frozen. The boy of her dreams just confessed his feelings for her. She wasn't sure what she needs to say to him so she just looked down and started to play with the hem of her skirt. She then felt a hand on her chin as Gaston made her look into his eyes. There was no point of denying she had to say it.
"I umm I like you too since I started Blake." She blushed at the last part, she wasn't supposed to say that.
Gaston just smiled with a warm smile and caressed her cheek as he started to lean in. Oh God this could not be happening, this has to be a dream.
Just before their lips touched he whispered:"I hope you don't run away this time." And with that he finally kissed her.
